He might need to seek advice from a professional.

I do know you can’t just go cold turkey straight away though! It just won’t work!

If you have tried to stop smoking weed, and just can’t find that peace and happiness through traditional programs, keep believing. Open your mind and heart to what is possible and know that you are not alone. There are others who struggled to stop smoking weed also, but found their own way to live again. Each person must come to terms with who they are, what they desire, and their own way of finding their way to stop smoking weed.

When it is all said and done, it does not matter which path you take to stop smoking weed. It’s your choice, your life. Find a way. One approach does not fit all.

I have met many who wanted to stop smoking weed but just couldn’t make it work with NA, AA or treatment. They believed in a different philosophy or life course when it came time to stop smoking weed. They wanted more than what was offered from traditional programs. For them, their beliefs and passion had them dancing to a different tune.

You are not a failure because you did not succeed in previous attempts to stop smoking weed. Look deeper. Find your passion. Raise your standards and begin to believe again. Hope!

The following presents some practical information on how to stop smoking weed.

Distract yourself. You have come to believe that smoking weed helps you cope and manage life. Your thoughts may tend to automatically focus of smoking weed when life gets stressful or hard. Get out of your head. The longer you sit there thinking about smoking weed the harder it will be. What you think, you do.
Step2Move. If you find yourself up in your head obsessing about smoking weed, get up. Exercise or clean. Do something active as motion is emotion. You may have become lazy or unmotivated while smoking weed. Start moving again. You may get tired or fatigued easily at first, but your body will quickly adapt. Get the blood flowing again as it will actually increase your energy.
Step3Have a goal. As always in life, when you have a goal or destination you are able to take the hits better along the way. The urges to smoke weed will lesson if you have a clear vision of where you want to go. Make this goal meaningful as it has to be motivating to you. To just stop smoking weed is not that meaningful of a goal. But if you decide to stop smoking weed for your wife or kid, then it carries more weight.
Step4Help someone. Doing for others is always a good way to feel better about yourself. Smoking weed is a selfish act and focuses only on you. Give back by helping others. Choose five random acts of kindness to do for others each day. If you are focused on how to help others you wont be sitting up in your head thinking about smoking weed.
Step5Replace the behavior. You will have more time on your hands when you stop smoking weed. Fill it with a hobby. Fill up your time with an activity you enjoy. You may have used weed to help you cope with stress. When you stop smoking weed, you will not have that as an outlet anymore. Give yourself another outlet or way to cope.
Step6Get involved in life again. Smoking weed will tend to isolate you from life at times. You may have started to believe that you need weed in order to engage in social activities. You may have been smoking weed for so long that you forget how to engage in life without it. It will be stressful at times as you re-learn to socialize with others without weed in your system, but challenge yourself to engage with others
Step7Quit the excuses. The mind can play tricks on you. You can probably justify almost anything. Listen to that quiet little voice inside asking you to stop smoking weed. You always know the truth of what you need to do. You live with you and must live with the choices you make. You can’t lie to yourself no matter how much you justify smoking weed in your mind. Listen to the desires and dreams you have inside. The more you try to justify smoking weed, the more you will feel empty and distressed inside.
Step8Make a commitment. Put it in your head that you want to stop smoking weed and stick to it. If you think about it, you are pretty good at getting what you want. If you were running out of weed, or desired to smoke weed, you found a way to do it. Use these powers for good!
